I am a Finance major in the Isenberg School of Management at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Over the last 2 years, I have had the honor of being a part of the inaugural Isenberg Dean’s Academy. The academy is a group of ~30 students who were selected based on academic achievements and work in their communities. This group allows me to have access to certain events in order to network with Isenberg alumni and well known CEOs and such in the business world.I believe that in order to succeed you need to be able to relate to others and learn how to navigate any situation you are put in. At a school of 30,000, I have been able to hone my ability to collaborate with a diverse array of people to learn together. Some of the strengths I bring to a team include my determination, independence, and willpower. During my past education I have always prioritized my work and put my best foot forward no matter what and will continue to do so in hopes of obtaining a job in the financial department.
